I’m back in Toronto now, if only for a few days. I didn’t have a look-of-the-day entry yesterday because I was busy shooting the episode on Vacation clothes. I will publish it as soon as I’m done editing. I hope you’ve all regained your energy and are ready for the New Year celebration, regardless of how spectacular or quiet you plan it to be.

Monday Calm
In the past few years I’ve grow increasingly fond of loose, draping cardigan with asymmetrical silhouettes. Their deliberate aesthetic sloppiness is so freeing that it’s almost fashion-cathartic. They are awesome for travel and other occasions that require hassle-free, low-maintenance, versatile garments. All the fabric pulling, stretching and general wear will only add to its intended asymmetry. I noticed that such cardigans are often worn with a belt over it or wrapped around. All that dangling fabric creates possibilities, and that’s always a good thing.
Scarfs
I hope you’re all having an awesome post-Christmas time – relaxed, well fed, and ready for the real party (New Years that is). I’m still at the lodge, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere, with its biggest dilemmas being whether to (a) watch another movie, (b) read a book, (c) take another nap, (d) just hang out and do nothing, (e) or sauna. We usually just resort to (d) with a bit of (a) sprinkled in

Pink Diamond Flowers
I went shopping today! The significance of this rests in the simple fact that in Canada it’s boxing-day – the one day in the year that is supposedly notorious for crazy sales and discounts (an equivalent to Black Friday in the States). I was extremely hesitant in undertaking this insane endeavour but curiosity “go the best of me.” See…I wrote boxing-day off ages ago because it’s just a painful experience. The crowds, never-ending lines, impossible-to-find parking, and the general nuisance of the whole thing makes it feel more like work than pleasure. Nevertheless, despite my better judgement I wanted to check out a few stores. In retrospect, I have to tell you that today I got that full boxing-day experience with all the joys I describe above. This story has no “shattered expectations” twist. I knew what I was getting myself into. But on the bright side, I am a few designer clutches riches .
Merry Christmas
I am chilling on the coach at the lodge right now, while the rest of my family members do their own thing. Talk about quality family time . No, I’m just kidding (we spend a lot of time together and are pretty close). I wanted to wish you all a super Merry Christmas and thank you for visiting my blog.
